The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) protected public utility land worth ₹25 crore in Chengicherla on Tuesday, July 14, and laid fencing.

• HYDRAA removed temporary sheds and huts from Ramanthapur Lake’s full tank level and buffer zone, and fenced 4,400 sq. yds of public utility land in Jayaprada Colony, Chengicherla, in Boduppal.
• The lake’s full tank level covers 30 acres; a further 16 acres had been encroached upon, including 12 acres with permanent structures and four acres with temporary sheds and huts. HYDRAA left permanent structures untouched and recommended double-bedroom houses for hut residents.
• Officials removed an under-construction G+2 commercial building on 1,900 sq. yds and an auto garage on 280 sq. yds. HYDRAA plans to restore and develop 18 acres of the lake.
• The fenced public land is allocated to a park (1,200 sq. yds), shopping complex (1,200), temple (400), school and library (800), and water tank (800). The shopping-complex parcel had been converted into housing plots, with two houses built on it. Jayaprada Colony residents complained to HYRAA.

HYDRAA (Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency) secured 6.12 acres of government land at Kachavani Singaram village in Ghatkesar after district survey officials confirmed the status.

Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister Danasari Anasuya (Seethakka) laid the foundation stone for an Eco-Ethnic Village at Incherla village in Mulugu mandal on August 18, 2025, in the presence of Telangana State Tourism Development Corporation Chairman Patel Ramesh Reddy. The project is part of the Development of Ramappa Region Sustainable Tourism Circuit, funded under the Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment scheme.

A shopping complex and amphitheatre will be built along National Highway 163 for ₹37 crore. Another ₹13 crore will fund island development works at Ramappa Lake; two more island projects are planned at Laknavaram Lake. The Centre has also provided additional funds to strengthen tourism infrastructure in the region.

HYDRAA commissioner AV Ranganath inspected several Hyderabad areas on Wednesday after complaints of encroachments and layout violations.

• In Ranganath Nagar, Gopanpally, residents said real estate groups occupied their 184-acre, 850-plot layout, developed in 1985, during the Covid-19 pandemic. They alleged houses were demolished, roads and parks erased, and a temple affected. Plot owners said a High Court order based on Supreme Court directions required encroachments to be removed within four weeks, but no action followed; they also alleged bouncers intimidated them. Ranganath said both parties would be summoned for a hearing within 10 days.
• Complainants also alleged plots were being sold illegally on burial-ground land and that 60 acres allotted to the Housing Board lacked fencing.
• In Aravind Colony, Chengicherla, residents accused a former MLA of claiming their decades-old 444-plot layout beside Endowments Department land as temple property and blocking registrations.
• In Boduppal’s Vikas Welfare Colony, residents alleged a political figure sought to take 35 of the layout’s 70 plots, removing roads and park spaces.
• At OU Colony, Shaikpet, Ranganath investigated alleged illegal road construction and asked plot owners to submit documents for verification.
